DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Geldeston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire floor
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Geldeston questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Geldeston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Geldeston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Geldeston
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
